"Kokkinisto" means "Red coloured" reffering to the colour of tomatoe based stews . Its origen is from Smyrni , a city on the east shores of the Aegean Sea , today being called Izmir by the Turks , after burning the city , occupying it and forcing the Greek population to flee as refugees . Those derooted people brought their cuisine to mainland Greece and many of these recipes are among the best Greek recipes of today !! This dish , just as many others from Smyrni , were enjoyed as appetizers . The one reason was that they never only cooked one dish . They prepared several dishes just as the Chinese do , enjoying different flavours . The other reason was that these dish are somewhat "heavy" to digest , so they ate little of many dishes ... You choose how you consume it , either way you will enjoy it !! It's even more tasty if you use mutton or lambs' front leg !! http://www.grouprecipes.com/99860/kokkinisto-me-araka-beef-casserole-gravy-with-peas.html This is a Greek , traditional , authentic , hungrhealing , exeptionally good-tasting peasant meat pie !! The original recipe uses finely diced beef ( chuck ) or mutton ( hind leg ) as meat . I have used minced beef chuck for ease purposes . This recipe has its origen in the mountainous area of Greece called Agrafa , to the north of today's city called Karpenisi . Agrafa means " unwritten " " not registered " . This term was used in medieval times to characterise this remote , " not worth while registering-difficult to reach area ", where shepherds lead their flocks to graze freely all year round !! The term Agrafa remains till today .... A great place to visit with 4x4 vechiles for extreme sports !! http://www.grouprecipes.com/99549/voskopita-shepherds-meat-pie.html Karlyn didn't have time to post this so I am posting it for her. http://www.grouprecipes.com/91104/foods-that-heal.html If you have severely dry skin like I do, this is great. Even my doctor is amazed at the way it has helped my skin. I just mixed up another batch, so thot I'd share it. http://www.grouprecipes.com/88724/miracle-hand-and-body-lotion.html We received this from some very dear family friends in 1993 when there was a very bad flu going around. It has a special prayer with it. I have to say it works! Our friends are Catholic, as am I, and the prayer is what I would consider very 'Catholic'. Please keep an open mind if you decide to try the prayer, if not, you can always try the drink by itself. http://www.grouprecipes.com/76218/homemade-thera---flu-healing-drink-with-prayer.html My family expects this at least 6 times a year. Variations can include Chicken Noodle or Chicken & Dumplings. Its the same basic recipe just the starch changes. http://www.grouprecipes.com/46490/chicken-and-rice-soup.html Handy cures and Remedies, keep this list on the Frig! Tips are Priceless http://www.grouprecipes.com/44654/grandmas-cures.html Raw garlic is a powerful healing food that has been known to take down even the worst colds and flus. I concocted this chicken and raw garlic soup to help my daughter recover from a nasty cold. You can add veggies if you wish, but for pure healing power, all you need is the chicken and raw garlic. BE WARNED: this soup is VERY spicy from the amount of raw garlic in it. Children may not be able to handle it. Even a diehard garlic lover like myself found it quite strong. But it'll be well worth it if it keeps you healthy! http://www.grouprecipes.com/39645/michelles-good-for-what-ails-ya-chicken-and-raw-garlic-soup.html
